On the eve of National Sports Day, former Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar held the bat once again and faced a few balls on the Mumbai streets. He was joined by Bollywood stars Varun Dhawan and Abhishek Bachchan and together they played a game of cricket.


The match was captured on camera and the master blaster took to his official Twitter handle to share the video.

Here’s the post:

Sachin also spent some time with the inmates of St. Anthony's Old Age Home in Mumbai. In a 45-second video, Sachin could be seen playing carrom and interacting and sharing jokes with the women inmates.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi launched the Fit India Movement at the Indira Gandhi National Stadium in New Delhi and urged citizens to inculcate sports and fitness in their day-to-day lives. He also paid tributes to hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand.

“I extend my wishes to all of you on National Sports Day. It was on this day that India got a sports star like Major Dhyan Chand who left the world spell-bound. Today is also the day to congratulate our young players, who are constantly giving new glory to the tricolour on the world stage,” Modi said.
